Templeton Freedom Award, 2007
 In March 2007 the Civitas Schools were awarded second place by the Atlas Foundation in the Templeton Freedom Prize for Social Entrepreneurship. This international award recognises excellent work addressing important social issues.
Comments from the judges about the Civitas Schools included:
“…what this program accomplishes speaks volumes and is highly inspirational.”
“Although there are many outside-of-school programs, this one seems innovative… Surely enabling poor children to excel in school is a solid way of making responsible citizens, especially when the children are eager to learn and their parents exert themselves to that end.”
Eleanor Rogerson receiving the Templeton Freedom Award for the Civitas Schools project
